Function of the cytoskeleton and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Helps maintain the cell's shape and gives the cell motility.
Both.
What is a eukaryote? What is a prokaryote?
A eukaryote is a multicellular organism. A prokaryote is a unicellular organism.
Function of the cytosol and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Where cellular metabolism and communications happen, also the large pool where all the other organelles reside in.
Both.
Function of the peroxisomes and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Protect the cell from its own protection of hydrogen peroxide which kills unwanted bacteria.
Both.
Function of the cell wall and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Plant cells.
What is the organization of life?
Atoms
Molecules
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organ systems
Organisms
Ecosystems
What does an animal versus a plant cell look like and why do they look like this?
Animal cells are round and irregular because of their lack of rigidity.
Plant cells are squarish and extremely organized because of their cell walls. Animals have bones or exoskeletons and plants don't, so they have cell walls instead which make them very rigid.
Function of the centrosomes and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Divide to help replicate and create daughter cells, produces microtubules.
Both.
Function of the secretory vesicles and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Secretions such as neurotransmitters and hormones are put in these at the golgi apparatus.
Both.
Function of the chloroplasts and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Responsible for the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the sun and are what allow the plant to turn green.
Plants.
What is a cell?
The basic structure in all living things that carry out important functions.
How do you collect a bacterial culture?
You take a swab on a place where bacteria thrives and swab it on a petri dish to grow.
Function of the centrioles and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Ring of nine groups of three microtubules fused together that are part of the cytoskeleton.
Animal.
Function of the cell membrane and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Controls the flow of what goes in and out of the cell.
Both.
Function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Makes cellular products such as lipids and has many functions depending on the cell, helps transportation for proteins and lipids.
Both.
Name two types of cells and their roles (one extra for practice)
Ex:
Endothelial cells- Line all blood vessels, filter fluids, regulate blood vessel size, and transport of substances. They are lining cells that line every organ in your body.
Blood cells- Carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissue. No nucleus so they can hold the important protein, hemoglobin.
Function of the nucleus and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Largest and most visible organelle in the cell that contains DNA and communicates with surrounding cytosol.
Both.
Function of the golgi and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Packages macromolecules for transport throughout the cell.
Both.
Function of the mitochondrion and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Powerhouse of the cell.
Both.
Function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Ribosomes and their proteins collect on the rough ER for transport about the cell.
Both.
What are the six kingdoms of life? Are they prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Animalia- Eukaryotic
Plantae- Eukaryotic
Archaebacteria- Prokaryotic
Fungi- Eukaryotic
Protista- Eukaryotic
Eubacteria- Prokaryotic
Function of the nucleolus and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Produces ribosomes and resides in the nucleus.
Both.
Function of the lysosomes and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Necessary for intracellular digestion.
Both.
Function of the vacuole and does it come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
In an animal cell: Small and help dispose of waste and intracellular digestion.
In a plant cell: Very large and have many functions such as holding waste, storing nutrients, and regulating tugor pressure so the plant doesn't wilt.
Both.
Function of the ribosomes and do they come in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
Packets of RNA and also the site of protein synthesis.
Both.
